    The thing that's weird about Apple's "Intelligence" features is how dumb they are. I messaged one of my kids yesterday that the pizza I made was ready and that I was out in the backyard with our dogs. Genmoji (or whatever it's called) then decided to suggest that I make a new Emoji with pizzas in a yard.

    It's great that they're on device and all, but how incredibly stupid.

      Still better then Microsoft.

        I've never had Microsoft read a message, initiate an AI generation, then attempt to inject that into my conversation.

        Not to say they wouldn't try...

          They’re too busy taking screenshots of your desktop every 2 seconds to datamine your interests in order to sell ads injected into the start menu.

        The very lowest bar that ever existed.

          Among popular OSs with mainstream app support, there’s only macOS and windows (and chromeOs I guess?). So you’re right, the lowest bar in a competition between two.

      Many bothans died to bring you that suggestion to make a new emoji of pizzas in a yard.

      It's the price you pay for privacy

      Mmm, freshly grown yard pizzas, just like AI ~~used to~~ currently makes.
